Important Notes Regarding Transportation:

After a student is approved for MKV (and actively enrolled in school), the MKV office will then be able to submit the transportation request to the PWCS Specialized Transportation Team. After the team receives that request from the MKV office, then it takes the team 3-5+ workdays to develop a plan and start transportation services.
If the student moves, you will need to submit a new MKV Transportation Request Form to cancel the current plan and request a new plan be developed for the new address. Please remember, after the PWCS Specialized Transportation Team receives the request from the MKV office, it will then take another 3-5+ workdays for the new plan to be developed.
Transportation will attempt to route a school bus first and if that is not available, then a private vehicle service will be used, if feasible and if available.
Transportation that is not utilized on a consistent and/or timely manner will be cancelled. If transportation is cancelled and if the student is unable to attend school regularly and on-time, this could result in a best interest decision by the MKV Liaison for the student to transfer to local school where transportation is already setup
If the student misses school due to lack of transportation while the team is developing a plan, please notify the student's school so they may excuse those absences.
If the student is residing within school boundaries (not in a hotel/motel/shelter/transitional housing program), then local transportation will be in place if not within official walking distance. Please consult the ParentVUE or ask the school office staff for the information. Local school transportation information does not filter through the MKV Office.
Email is the preferred method for communication. Please keep watch on your email inbox (and spam/junk boxes) for messages from PWCS. The transportation plan will be emailed to the email addresses that are provided on this form.

All students utilizing transportation services (school buses and private car service) must agree to the PWCS Transportation Code of Behavior: School Bus Rules | Prince William County Public Schools
